Homeschool Education

Home Education with One or More Virtual Classes

Homeschool students may take one or more virtual classes, you must register your home education program and then request one or more courses from Citrus eSchool (a franchise of FLVS). These part-time enrollments may begin at any date between the first day of school in August and the last day of February, not necessarily at the beginning of the semester. Most courses will be taught by a local Citrus County School District instructor. A few classes may be taught by a Florida Virtual School (FLVS Flex ) instructor.

  • If you are withdrawing your student from a Citrus County school, first check Skyward to see your student’s schedule of courses, including the 7-digit course code for each class. Those classes will be dropped when your student is withdrawn. Having this information on hand may help when selecting virtual classes.
  • Once your paperwork is complete, your student will be withdrawn from the brick-and-mortar school and registered as a home education student. At that point, the parent/guardian is directing the education program for the student—there is not a counselor assigned to assist you in selecting courses
  • Once you’ve established your home education program, you may request classes from Citrus eSchool, a franchise of Florida Virtual School (FLVS).
  • From April 1st through July 10th, you may request full-time admission to Citrus eSchool for semester 1 (August start). From November 1st  through November 30th, you may request full-time admission to Citrus eSchool for semester 2 (January start). Citrus eSchool is the virtual school in the Citrus County School District. Enrollment criteria apply. 
 

Citrus County School's home education program is a parent driven program. By enrolling in home education, the parent is assuming all responsibilities to educate their child including the choice of curriculum and materials. Current law does not prescribe a curriculum or course of study for home education programs.

Citrus County Schools does not provide books, curriculum, or materials.

Students enrolled in a home education program do not receive a high school diploma or certificate of completion from Citrus County Schools.
